I had to drain mine after picking up 4.5 gallons of dark-yellow non-flammable "petrol"

I undid the hose that runs from the fuel filter to the injector rail and put it into a 2 Litre lemonade bottle. When you turn on the ignition you get a 10 second burst of fuel through the pipe then it stops. So you just cycle the ignition switch a few times then empty the bottle and start again. It took an hour or so to drain that much "fuel".

After draining it I put in a tank of good fuel, but there must have been a little of the bad stuff left because I was getting rough running and codes from the knock sensors. But that went away after a couple of fill ups.

Phil.
